After Action Report
The Hawks squeaked past the Nuggets 97-92. The Hawks won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Hawks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Hawks came in with something to prove after a loss. The Nuggets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Hawks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hawks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Nuggets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Nuggets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
